Sung at a "Musikalische Academie" in Prague, april 1791.
In reality it is a scene (Vitelia: "Non più di fiori") from Mozarts opera La clemenza
di Tito - which not until September had its premiere in Pague too.
"Rhondo mit obligatem Bassethorn" was sung by the very able Praguer soprano
Josepha Duschek. Mozart had written this dramatic piese especially to her, his very, very? close friend, and to her he dedicates the piece with the
words: Rezitativ: Bellamia fiamma.-
As Josepha Duschek: Trudeliese Schmidt, mezzosopran. --
Carl Vendler
If you listen closely to the basset horn part, you can hear a part that is similar to the Clarinet Concerto starting in measure 272 to 276 in the concerto.
